[modmodmod] SOI expanded

yes. look in your civ IV ini file, search for "python exceptions" and set them to not be hidden.
 
Thanks!

BenZL43 changed maps.py for me. It is in post 70. It doesn't crash the game, but it seems to turn off the provinces completely.
I changed consts.py - this crashed the game completely. Python exceptions didn't do anything, since the game crashed while loading. Civfanatics won't let me upload .py files, so i turned it into a text document. It is in post 80.

Also in post 80 is a file called Middle East and Greece 750 AD. This is not the finished scenario, just the normal SoI scenario with 15 tiles added in the west and a rough outline of greece and libya.

What I would recommend doing is creating an duplicate folder of SoI called The Sword of Islam Expanded. Copy "Middle East and Greece 750 AD" into Publicmaps, overwrite maps.py, and copy consts.txt and use it to replace consts.py.

Thanks so much for your help!!!
 
I don't think you had python exceptions enabled because I got exceptions when I ran it. there was a missing comma in Conts and the file didn't have the right extension or wasn't recognized by python. in Maps, there were some entries in the province map that were not numbers. some tiles had the value "11X". the provinces are not lined up with the map properly but it runs now.

not sure what you mean. I guess you want to add the new provinces to some civs core and normal areas.
 
Thanks!

I am really busy until wednesday. But I have thursday and most of friday free. I will try to finish up the mod by then.

It will only include a map extended 15 tiles to the west including Greece and Libya. No vertical expansion. No new civs. (nonplayable civs in original SoI will be playable, just no UHV/other uniques) No new concepts.

Would any of you be willing to playtest it when it comes out?
 
I would. I would still like expansion to the north and Balkan states eventually, but let's not get too ambitious right now. ;)
 
Great news!
I fixed the error (misspelled Epirus as Epuris)

I am almost done with the physical terrain of the map. After I finish that, I have to add cities, change the CityNameManager.py, and the settler maps in Maps.py

Than I'll release it.

Any Idea where I can upload a big file for free?
 
Oh, spelling errors suck so much when coding. :p

Why don't you just use SVN? It's really convenient and easy. At worst, I suppose you could just get someone else to set it up for you, then give you administrator privileges (or equivalent)- it's really worth the effort.

Yes, they do.

No, I have no interest in it. Once I release this version with Greece and Libya, I'm not going to do much more, beyond fixing any bugs people find.

On a side note, does anyone know where I can upload the file when I'm done for free? (and no SVN, I'm not smart enough to work it)
